Stewards.
Focus on Service.

MAP strives to maximize service to individuals and the community by keeping its administrative costs low. For every dollar received by the agency, 79 percent went to support our direct services.

Future Capacity.
Focus on Service.

Due to a long history of surplus budgets, MAP had the capacity in 2004 to respond to a unique opportunity to purchase its building and adjacent properties. The move brought stability in current operations, flexibility to change and resources for the future.
